The New Year is coming, it's time to decorate the New Year tree. It seems that it is very simple, but for some reason the result does not always go the way it does on beautiful pictures. To properly decorate a Christmas tree, does not necessarily have a huge amount of insanely expensive toys. It is enough to adhere to several basic rules that will help to make a truly magical holiday tree, even from the usual low-cost ornaments.
Fundamental rules:
- If the toys are small, it is better to buy a small Christmas tree, you can even artificial. On a small Christmas tree is better to choose Christmas decorations in the same style, then the New Year's beauty will look like a picture.
- A large beautiful Christmas tree will require a lot of toys or a lot of garlands! It takes real skill to beautifully decorate a Christmas tree with lots of toys and garlands.
Artificial Christmas trees are easier to decorate, because they always have very dense branches, and they bend in the direction that it is necessary to "occupy" with a toy at a given moment. With natural fir trees this will not work, so their decoration requires more skill.
Decoration of a natural New Year tree
If the tree is big, and there are not enough toys, garlands will come to the aid. The main rule of decorating such Christmas trees: colored lights form the basis of the entire decoration, toys only complement the appearance of the Christmas tree.
It is better if the garland is several. Before you hang the first garland on the tree, imagine the final picture: the effect of a very voluminous tree should be created. This effect can be achieved only if garlands are hung spirally in one direction at the same distance from the tree trunk. It will be very beautiful if three garlands of different colors at the same distance from each other will uniformly spiral the tree. A feeling of one wide ribbon with multi-colored stripes on it will be created.
It is desirable to decorate the tree with garlands so that the first spiral is slightly closer to the tree trunk than the second, and the third garland should be closest to the edge twigs.
After the Christmas tree is adorned with garlands, you can start decorating with toys. You can turn garlands and see which branches have a particularly impressive backlight. These branches are determined by the most beautiful toys.
If there are a lot of toys, then the championship is given to them. In this case garlands are enough for one. She is wrapped in a Christmas tree so that the garland is just in the depths and highlights the toys. Many advise placing the largest toys on the lower branches, but with a natural tree, this technique is not always appropriate, as the branches grow unevenly, and it may turn out that the focus will be on the "bald" section. Natural Christmas trees should be decorated like this: the most "empty" spaces between branches are filled with large beautiful toys on a long thread, so that the toy is located approximately in the center of space. Usually, natural Christmas trees have a pretty "bald" crown. It is better not to disguise it, but to cut it altogether, you can "edit" and neighboring twigs to finally form a Christmas tree.
